35. I'm just not that worried about the Republicans.

Their party is dying, and they know it. In addition, I don't think it's healthy to try to understand how Republicans think--it might rub off on you.

Of course the Republicans want to impeach Obama. Nothing new there. But why should we care? They can scream bloody murder all they want, but until they get 60 votes in the Senate, they can't do squat, and they know it.

I just don't give a rip about the President's poll numbers, and that's the only thing that's at stake here--besides the 4th Amendment. Personally, I think the 4th Amendment is more important. One might argue that our "national security" is at issue, but I'd need to see some hard proof that this database was very effective in thwarting terrorist attacks before I would even begin to weigh its value against that of the 4th Amendment. To date, no such evidence has been presented.

Thanks for the reply.
